We are in the process of reconditioning several Original engine patterns so we can continue to produce these classic engine casting kits. Some patterns are 30 years old and need TLC to produce the best castings possible so, please, be patient. Our goal is to provide the best casting kits and plan sets available for these “Classic Engines” from the past. Bob Shores Little Devil hit miss engine (One of Bob’s last engine design). First Time offered in Years.. The Little Devil vertical engine is intended to be a companion to the Little Angel horizontal engine. Preliminary specifications are: bore 5/8″, Height 4.5″, Width 3.9″ and flywheel diameter of 2 5/8″. The first step is, of course, to make preliminary drawings of the concept. The drawings are then modified to standard dimensions, drills, reams, gears, bearings and bolt sizes. This design and castings has been missing for years. We recovered the patterns and had new patterns made for the flywheels. Flywheels patterns were burned up in a foundry file but one of our original flywheel patterns for the other engines patterns so we had one of the original little Devil flywheels on it so we built up a new patterns for the small flywheels. This was originally built by Bob Shores as a water cooled design as seen in the last picture of Bob’s first construction. The patterns were moved around and ended up in the Bay area engine modelers club where plans were finished and refined with some cad drawings. A air cool version was also designed and built so this can also be built as a air cooled version. This casting kit and plans consists of. 2 castings (head and crankcase). 2 Brass Flywheels (RED or Yellow Brass). 9 cad type parts drawings printed. 4 supplemental drawings from BAEM. 13 pages of Builders Hints. These hints are written and with photos of some of the machining bob did while developing this engine. Hints will be included in this sale.
